Water Quality & Public Health

Healthy waters mean healthier communities and ecosystems. MARACOOS provides real-time ocean and coastal observations, forecasts, and tools that help people stay safe, enjoy the water, and protect the environment across the Mid-Atlantic.

Our data guides monitoring of harmful algal blooms, informs beach advisories, and supports the protection of ecosystems. By turning complex information into actionable insights, MARACOOS helps ensure that the tens of millions of people who live, work, and visit the region can enjoy and rely on a safer, cleaner, and more resilient coast.

The projects in this section highlight how our water quality sensors, near-real-time environmental data, and regional partnerships support informed decisions and healthier coastal conditions.
